Walter Scott
Image
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er.
Walter Scott
Image
come he slow or come he fast it is but death that comes at last
Walter Scott
Image
Come forth, old man,--thy daughter's side Is now the fitting place for thee: When time has quell'd the oak's bold pride, The youthful tendril yet may hide, The ruins of the parent tree.
Walter Scott
Image
True love's the gift which God has given to man alone beneath the heaven.
Walter Scott
Image
We often praise the evening clouds, And tints so gay and bold, But seldom think upon our God, Who tinged these clouds with gold.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Image
The time which passes over our heads so imperceptibly makes the same gradual change in habits, manners and character, as in personal appearance. At the revolution of every five years we find ourselves another and yet the same--there is a change of views, and no less of the light in which we regard them a change of motives as well as of action.
Walter Scott
Image
In prosperous times I have sometimes felt my fancy and powers of language flag, but adversity is to me at least a tonic and bracer.
Walter Scott
Image
In the lost battle, Borne down by the flying, Where mingles war's rattle With groans of the dying.
Walter Scott
Image
It was woman that taught me cruelty, and on woman therefore I have exercised it.
Walter Scott
Image
Oh, Brignall banks are wild and fair, And Greta woods are green, And you may gather garlands there Would grace a summer's queen.
Walter Scott
Image
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Walter Scott
Image
As good play for nothing, you know, as work for nothing.
Walter Scott
Image
I did not myself set a high estimation on wealth, and had the affectation of most young men of lively imagination, who suppose that they can better dispense with the possession of money, than resign their time and faculties to the labour necessary to acquire it.
Walter Scott
Image
Mankind — the race would perish did they cease to aid each other.
Walter Scott
Image
Necessity--thou best of peacemakers, As well as surest prompter of invention.
Walter Scott
Image
Good wine needs neither bush nor preface to make it welcome. And they drank the red wine through the helmet barr'd.
Walter Scott
Image
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, morn of toil, nor night of waking.
